Book excerpt: I sit ensomme eksil på den forblæste klippeø St. Helena går Napoleon omkring med sine sidste loyale lakajer, der bestandigt skændes med hinanden og kappes om den faldne kejsers gunst. Da St. Helenas guvernør Lowe kommer til øen, bliver det lille mikrokosmos sat på den anden ende, ikke mindst fordi den arrogante britiske guvernør ikke vil høre Napoleon omtalt som kejser længere ... Sophus Michaëlis (1865-1932) var en dansk forfatter og digter, der i 1919 blev slået til Ridder af Dannebrog og i 1929 blev hædret med titlen Dannebrogsmand for sit litterære virke. Sophus Michaëlis debuterede i 1889 med "Digte", og sidenhen udgav han et væld af romaner og digtsamlinger. -

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Rodenberg inventively uses Bonaparte’s own unfinished novel to tell the story of the despot’s rise to power, which she juxtaposes against the story of his last love affair. Told creatively and with excellent research!” —Stephanie Dray, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of America's First Daughter and The Women of Chateau Lafayette “Beautiful and poignant.” —Allison Pataki, New York Times best-selling author of The Queen’s Fortune With its delightful adaptation of Napoleon Bonaparte’s real attempt to write romantic fiction, Finding Napoleon: A Novel offers a fresh take on Europe’s most powerful man after he’s lost everything—except his last love. A forgotten woman of history—the audacious Countess Albine—helps narrate their tale of intrigue, desire, and betrayal. After the defeated Emperor Napoleon goes into exile on tiny St. Helena Island in the remote South Atlantic, he and his lover, Albine de Montholon, plot to escape and rescue his young son. Banding together enslaved Africans, British sympathizers, a Jewish merchant, a Corsican rogue, and French followers, they confront British opposition—as well as treachery within their own ranks—with sometimes subtle, sometimes bold, but always desperate action. Amid his passions and intrigues, Napoleon finishes his real novel Clisson that he started writing as a young man. Now it's a father's message to the young son whom his enemies took from him, but how can they get it to the boy? When Napoleon and Albine break faith with one another, ambition and Albine’s husband threaten their reconciliation. To succeed, Napoleon must learn whom to trust. To survive, Albine must decide whom to betray. This elegant, richly researched novel reveals the Napoleon history conceals and the Countess Albine history has forgotten.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Island written by David Jeremiah and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over four hundred years, the island of Saint Helena was reachable only by sea, but it now has an airport. Situated in the South Atlantic, 1,200 miles from the African coast and 2,000 miles from South America, few people know much about this tiny and remote island, let alone its likely role in The Tempest,one of Shakespeare's most popular plays. Join David J. Jeremiah, a former attorney general of Saint Helena, for an engaging yet academically sound exploration of this tiny island and how events and figures in the hundred years following its discovery in 1502 are reflected in the plot and characters of The Tempest. While many scholars are convinced Bermuda was the inspiration and setting for the famous play,Jeremiah believes that Shakespeare had Saint Helena in mind. The early history of the island provides a Caliban figure, a plan to establish a colony there, and the astonishing idea that an Elizabethan sea captain would be proclaimed its king. Jeremiah makes a compelling case for Saint Helena being Shakespeare's island, the island of The Tempest.
Download or read book The Black Room at Longwood written by Jean-Paul Kauffmann and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like his subject, Napoleon, author Jean-Paul Kauffmann has experienced captivity, as a three-year hostage in Beirut. He brings his insider's knowledge to this moving account of the most famous French soldier's last years in seclusion on a tropical island. After his defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Napoleon was exiled and imprisoned by the British on the island of St. Helena. He became increasingly withdrawn, surviving on a diet of memories that he recounted to the few people around him. But the book -- part history, part travelogue -- portrays the leader as a prisoner also of his mind, poisoned by nostalgia for his triumphs and grief over his defeats. "A haunting, unforgettable book....Kauffmann captures the desolate atmosphere of Napoleon's last home with evocative precision." -- Boston Globe
